Hartshead is a small, family school in a beautiful semi-rural village. In our inclusive school, every member of staff - from Headteacher to Cook - knows every pupil, takes the very best care of them and contributes to their achievements.


Our pupils enjoy an engaging and creative curriculum, which fosters a love of learning and develops successful young people; children equipped for the challenges and opportunities ahead. We are a passionate staff, with the needs of our children at the heart of everything we do.


The successful candidate will be an experienced practitioner. We would especially welcome applications from people who have experience of working with Autistic pupils and pupils with medical needs. We need team players who are flexible in their approach. In return, we will offer you an experienced and supportive team of staff and governors as well as enthusiastic and happy children.



You are warmly encouraged to contact the Headteacher, Sarah Shaw, to find out more about the post and arrange a visit to the school. Phone 01274 879700

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
